NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream tomcat7 package and not the tomcat7 package as distributed by Ubuntu.

Apache Tomcat 6.x before 6.0.37 and 7.x before 7.0.30 does not properly handle chunk extensions in chunked transfer coding, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service by streaming data.
